The aim of this project is to model a six step discontinuous current mode inverter fed to a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The dq-axis Voltage-Current and Torque relation in terms of machine parameters are used along with a six step 120 degree mode inverter and gate drive using MATLAB/SIMULINK. There is also a provision for easy changes to the machine par...

A high dynamic control system for the Alspa VDM 7000 medium voltage drive was implemented, which provides fast torque response times of a few milliseconds despite the typically low switching frequency of GTO thyristors that is necessary to achieve high efficiency. The drive system consists of a three-level voltage source converter with active front-end and a synchronous motor. The drive has mos...

This paper represents the performance of a squirrel-cage High Temperature Superconducting Induction/ Synchronous Motor (HTS-ISM) based on nonlinear electrical equivalent circuit. The structure of the HTS-ISM is the same as that of the squirrel-cage type induction machine, and the secondary windings are fabricated by the use of the HTS wires. It has already been shown that based on the experimen...

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive has a remarkable characteristic, high efficiency, and good controllability, which makes it attractive for high-speed applications. In this paper, the basic control strategy for a switched reluctance motor drive circuit is explained and then three different resonant discharge topologies for SRM drive circuit are proposed. Due to resonantly discharging of exc...
